Neighbors And Colleagues Express Grief For New Britain Murder-Suicide Victim
News of the death of Janet Caraballo, a victim in a suspected murder-suicide, hit her colleagues at the Hospital of Central Connecticut very hard, and grief counselors were available to them on site Saturday morning, according to a hospital spokesman.
Caraballo, 37, was a nurse tech who worked in the behavioral health department for two years, Shawn Mawhiney, a Hartford HealthCare spokesman, said Saturday.
Caraballo's body was found in a wooded area in Plainville after being reported missing Thursday night. Her 46-year-old boyfriend, Luis Rodriguez, was found dead hours earlier in a suspected murder-suicide, officials said.
The body was discovered about 2 p.m. on secluded, private property off North Mountain Road, Capt. Thomas Steck said. Caraballo's body had been stabbed to death, police said. Police did not disclose how the body was found.
Rodriguez, also of James Avenue, was found dead at about 1 a.m. Friday in a vehicle behind a vacant home on Kensington Avenue in New Britain, police said. His death appears to be a suicide, police said.
